About This Item
E. P. Dutton And Co., Inc., 1958. Book. Good+. Mass Market Paperback. Very slight cover wear. A few pgs only have some notations. Sticker on spine. Nice, tight copy. This fascinating book...is a pioneering study of great historical importance, the first book in English to analyze the theory and practice of the French symbolists...thus introducing this radical group of writers to English and American readers. Without symbolism there can be no literature; indeed, not even language. Words themselves are symbols. Symbolism began with the first words uttered by the first man as he named every living thing. In a symbol there is concealment, yet revelation. All of these have greatly contributed to our understanding of symbolism..
